That big bad mother rocking the Cotswolds what an Aircraft that is nearly as nice as the AVRO VULCAN ( Being British & only living 2 miles from where it was built 👏👏👏👏👏 both stunning Aircraft .😊😊
Not a military veteran (like my parents and oldest brother), yet I appreciate all who serve, AND as a designer, I especially love the function and form of our American military aircraft. Too many to mention, so I'll just say the B1B is the best! We used to live in Burbank CA in the flight path of military jets on their way to a fly-over of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. One year it was two or three B1's. Uh-mazing. Thanks to all the pilots.
Was at Citadel vs. VMI game in Memorial Stadium in Charlotte and the pre-game flyover was a B1. When they came over the end of the stadium the concrete stands were shaking enough for drinks to fall over. It was so low they must have been out of regs.
From a retired F-111f 48th TFW USAFE expediter and crew chief. Your mission is our Freedom!! TO all of the aircrews,maintenance and ops, keep up your commitment of Freedom for our families and country!! Ssgt j Ellis
Unbelievable maneuverability. I was working at McConnell AFB building the flight simulator building and got to see what it can do. Incredible aircraft that should have never been moved to Texas, no thanks to President Bush.
A Legend and What a Splendid looking aircraft! One of Gods Mighty Warriors that an enemy would NOT want to mess with! Happy landings Always good chaps. JB. UK.
I saw one of these very early one morning from Lambert International in St. Louis. The sun was just coming up and I hear this thundering sound ... it was a Lancer in full afterburner mode taking off.. it looked like a rocket laying on its side. Just incredible as it took off into the sunrise.
That really is a beautiful, svelte aircraft. I stood behind one at an air show; I'm over six feet tall and could stand tall inside one of those engine nozzles.
When you look at this plane and understand it's capability, do you really think any other country would want to screw with the USA or it's allies ?? It would be suicide.
Just another billion dollars of taxpayers' money goes to building something we don't even need. Russia and China won't defeat us--we will bankrupt ourselves with our bloated defense budget. Defense companies hire retired high ranking military officers to bribe their active colleagues to buy this crap. It just goes to show how morally corrupt the military is. Where are the real patriots who put country before their own profit?
Crewchiefed and worked ISO on these for 6 years, beautiful yes but a total PITA (Pain in the a**) to work on and to keep them flying. 30years USAF and ANG (retired).
If that's a beautiful aircraft then I'd like to say the VULCAN is absolutely "GORGEOUS" from Every conceivable angle come rain or shine , the designers must have smoked and drank some exceedingly strong and illegal substances to produce the B1and the VULCAN
